Springer Database Marketing Analyzing and Managing Customers by Robert C. Blattberg, Byung-Do Kim, Scott A. Neslin

Based on decades of collective research, teaching, and application in the field, the authors present the most comprehensive treatment to date of database marketing, integrating theory and practice.
